O'Brien in quebec.
lBy telegraph 70 the D,spaun.i

OUEBEc. May 12.-In his speech here
to.day Editor O'Brien said he hal to
express his acknowledgements not
merely to his friends, but to his oppo-
nents. for the courtesy and fair-play he
had received up to the present time.
He said he believed that good many
preiudices and MISUNDERSTANDING
which had arisen with reference to his
visit were being already dlspeiled,
and he expressed his confidence that
the more the subject was thrashed ont
the more severely every humane and
liberty-loving man in Canada would
condemn the conduct of Lord LAns-
downe and more, they would recognize
that this visit was the only means left to
avert the total destruction of an entire
community of oppressed and cruelty,
yronped tenants. The Irish people had
not sought this quarrel with Lord
Iansdowne. He had himself forced It
by making himself the champioA and
sisndard-bearer of the worst and most
inbuman class of rack. renters in Ire
land. Kisses.
The Montreal Herald of to-day, he
continued, took up a position with which
I do not for one moment quarrel that
the Canadian people would not take on
tbe statement of others the aSSer-
ton that Lord Lansdownc was as
black as he was painted until
the other side was heard from.
He invited and challenged Lord Lans-
downe to answer or dispute single
fact which the Heratd says should not
be accepted until he has had an oppor-
tunity of doing this. Lord Lansdowne
need not seriously shelter himself under
the plea that his official position pre-
vented him from defending himself.

LAWYER ANDERSON IN PRISON.
Followed 10 England by Victim
whom He Had Swindied
ont of $4,000.

4 Middletown IN. Y.)special of May
18th says: Charles Deaken, the rich
farmer Of Susquehanna who was swim
died out of $40, 900 by the Detroit law
yer, Judge" Charles Franklin Ander-
son. has Just arrived home from Eng
land, after having seen the legal trick
ster safely consigned to prison at hard
labor for the term Of five years. Ander-
son. who is native of Michigan,
and who practiced law in Detroit for
several years, proved to be one of the
most successful sharpers known in
criminal annals. Hisspecialty consisted
in swindling confding clients out OF
large sums on the plea of securing for
them large estates in Great Britain or
Germany, represented to be theirs by
right of inheritance. His superior
abilities as a lawyer and engaging adj
dress won him standing in the legal
profession and in banking and business
circles that enabled him to carry on his
swindling operations for number OF
years with remarkable adroitness and
success.
1t was during his stay in Bingham
ton, where he cut great dash rs a rich
ex. Judge Of the Michigan courts, that
he made the acquaintance of William
B. and Charles Deaken, father and son,
and Enelishmen by birth, to whom he
represented that he had knowledge OF a
fortune of 100000 awaiting them in
ENGLAND, an inheritance from an ances-
tor, that he could readily secure for
them. He gave references, which were
promptly honored, toprominent lawyers
and bankers in Binghamton, Detroit,
and New York. The Deakens were
persuaded to give him a large retainer,
and he set out for London TO claim the
estate in their behalf. On one spe-
cious pretext or another during the six
months following he secured remit
tances from them until the aggregate
of his gains reached over $1,000
Then Charles Deakens followed him
abroad, and on finding the story of the
promised fortune n myth and fraud
he caused the swindler to be brought
to the bar of justice with the result
stated.
Anderson has a young. refined, and
handsome wife, who is believed to have
been entirely unaware of his rascali-
ties until his arrest in London. Before
marriage she was Miss Richards,
member of a wealthy and respectable
family in Berrien county, Mich. When
the dcnOunent came, with true woman
ly devotion she gave up to her hus-
bands victims, in the hope of pro-
curing a mitigation OF his punishment,
all of the costly jewels and rich APP
parel that her own family and her hus-
band had bestowed on her in prosper
Gus DAYS. 1t was out of this unselfish
restitution on the wife's part that the
DeakeDs recovered $1,000. The wife
secured humble lodgings for herself
and child near the prison where her
husband is confined, and announced
her intention OF remaining constantly
near him until his term of imprison-
ment shall expire. Her case excites
great sympathy.
